Urban Drive Control is a project in the Telematics Application Programme - Sector Transport of the European 4th Framework Programme (1994-98) for Research and Development. Urban Drive Control (UDC) provides adaptations and improvements of existing technology and is aimed to comply with collective and individual interests in combining remote speed control and driving recommendations to be sent via road-side beacons to vehicles equipped with Autonomous Cruise Control. Four European Car manufacturers (FIAT, Jaguar, Peugeot, Renault) participated in the experimentation phase carried out in Torino (Italy) in summer 1998. The paper provides information on the overall evaluation process and considers main results and outcomes from the analysis of the data collected in the trials. (A*)
